  • Research summary

    We collected 210 dietary questionnaires from newly diagnosed patients with inflammatory bowel disease as part of a previous study (REC number 14/EM/1290). This was a multicentre inception cohort study over a 1 year period which took place between 2015-2016. The study was designed to examine the role of diet and the gut bacteria and define variables that may predict response to therapy by integrating clinical data with stool sample collections to examine the gut microbiota (the population of gut bacteria living in our intestine).

    We now need to collect 150 questionnaires from healthy controls to provide a comparison group for the dietary data we collected from newly diagnosed IBD patients. We aim to try and identify food groups that may be associated with IBD.
